Re: Show me your VB interfaces....:D

mine aint avail for public consumption yet since -

A. I am re-coding it to do things better and more efficient
B. A little hard to anyone else to configure yet
C. Can't think of a funky name to call it!
D. Still coding DivX playback support
E. There was something else I am sure of it?

but here are some screenies and a rundown of what it does to give u a taste of what is to come....

I'm one of them.... exept that the software i`m doing is far from complete. Progress is also very slow as i'm still in the process of getting my hardware in the car (i have yet to finish the case for my computer and lcd), but once i get the hardware side of my project finished, i`ll get round to finishing the software. I'll post somthing when i get something functional.

Originally posted by Gutter After that big flash/vb thread a while back, it seemed like there were several people who started projects right after that. Wonder what became of most of them.

I'm one of them folks.

However, as I'm not a developer, I don't have access to dev tools etc, so I'm a little stuck. I was thinking about developing a little database to manage and query playlists, and then building a tool in Indigo Rose or MMB to call MP3 or GPS etc as required. (I bought Indigo Rose for work - w00t!)

This seems to be the best that I'll be able to do with the tools that are available to me. I'd really like to do everything with a single interface, however it seems that I'll have to just try and make it appear to be a single interface instead.

I've written all the technology for it - it communicates with winamp and passes everything on to the flash front end so you can have an entirely custom player. I've had great fun coding it, but some bits are pretty damn annoying - i rewrote the jump searching about 5 times before i got it to a vaguely acceptable speed and it is still not as quick as winamp. It does some pretty nifty things - passes spectrum analyser values on to flash e.t.c.

When it's available for beta testing I'll let you all know.

Have a look at the attached screen - its quite nice. Its a bit simple at the moment, but the white cube spins round and kinda follows on the mediabox kinda theme

P.S. I'm planning to have some pretty nifty effects like passing speeds onto flash so when you are travelling at twice the speed limit all the text motion blurs and falls off the screen. That should freak you out!

Also, ignore the Loading... text - it is a variable controlled by VB and can show pretty much anything. The whole thing is in flash so it is totally skinnable, but I will include the source for my mediabox flash file.

Current Stage: A complete redesign, although not much happening right now!
